I don't normally comment on many of these issues but I would like to offer this to Jerrod, whom I consider a friend. This proposal could and would help increase attendance at sectionals but not because of tree points or count downs. The value of first prize will be the determining factor. Find a way to make the opportunity cost worth it and people will come. I know you have an auction scheduled to help but I'm not sure that will be enough.

Thanks to all who have put in hard work for this proposal.

regards,

Chris

Keith, obviously you dont have any idea what I hunt or what I like. Let me ask you a question about your beloved countdown. When ole me too covers on a slick tree after a minute how much minus does he get with a countdown and how much minus would he get under the current rules. So does ole me too get more underserved plus points or fewer deserved minus points hunting under a countdown. I know what I have seen in the numerous AKC and PKC casts I've been in. Im all in favor of giving dogs less time to cover, but I want the dog that gets there 2nd to get what it deserves + or -. Im more in favor of closing the tree sooner, 2 minutes would be fine with me. But that's not the point. This hunt is being promoted as a tool to boost attendance in sectionals which are UKC hunts, wouldn't it seem if you expect people to hunt in a UKC hunt that you would promote UKC rules?
